Error description

The undocumented systemdate() function works in eProcess and PE
3.5.x and should be the same as systemtime() function... however
in PE 4.5.x, using the undocumented version (systemdate()) sends
the work item to the Malfunction queue
Steps to Reproduce:
1 in Process Designer, create a time field and assign the
systemdate() function as the default value (or create an assign
step later and do the same thing or use a function such as
adddays(systemdate(),1))
2 validate (always successful) and launch
3 work item will end up in Malufunction queue
Expected Results:
produce the correct date/time as per the function
